Definitions

  • This invention refers to a method and a device for connecting a holder body with a tool head, a plug of the holder body being inserted in a recess of the tool head, and clamping jaws being arranged adjacent to the plug.
  • the device according to the invention also has a draw bar provided in connection with the plug, said draw bar having a head and a portion tapering from the head, and means for displacing the draw bar in its longitudinal direction relative to the holder body, and said clamping jaws being arranged adjacent to the draw bar, said clamping jaws having transverse to and along the longitudinal direction of the draw bar displacable portions.
  • the device according to US-A-4 406 195 also causes great friction losses between the draw bar, the clamping pins and the tool head.
  • the aim of the present invention is to disclose a method and a device of the type mentioned above, the clamping force mainly having axial direction and the friction losses between cooperating force transmitting means are eleminated.
  • the aim of the present invention is realized by a method and a device that have been given the characteristics of the appending claims.
  • Fig 1 shows a longitudinal section of an embodiment according to the invention
  • Fig. 2 shows a section along II-II in Fig 1
  • Fig. 3 shows a section along III-III in Fig 1
  • Fig 4 shows an initial phase of a connection between a tool head and a holder body by means of the device according to the invention
  • Fig 5 shows the final connection between a tool head and a holder body by means of a device according to the invention.
  • the device according to the invention as disclosed in Figs 1-5 comprise a holder body 10, that has a plug 11.
  • Three clamping jaws 13 and an intermediate portion 14a of a draw bar 14 are received in the recess 12.
  • the longitudinal centre axis for the plug 11 and the draw bar 14 is designed by reference numeral 15.
  • a boring 16 continues, said boring having reduced diameter relative to the recess 12 in a direction from the plug 11.
  • the boring 16 emerges in a space 17 in the holder body 10.
  • An eccentric mechanism 18 is provided in said space 17 and connected to the draw bar 14, e.g. by means of a thread connection 19. When the eccentric mechanism 18 is activated the draw bar 14 is given a displacement towards or away from the space 17.
  • the clamping jaws 13 are L-shaped, the stem 13a of the L extends down into the recess 12 along the draw bar 14 while the shank 13b of the L extends radially away from the draw bar in a direction transverse to the longitudinal direction of the stem 13a.
  • both the stem 13a and the shank 13b have a shape that tapers towards their joining point, seen in a plane through a clamping jaw 13 and the centre axis 15 of the plug 11.
  • slots 20 are provided, said slots extend from the free end of the plug 11 and in axial direction of the plug 11 a limited distance.
  • the width of the slots 20 in the tangential direction of the plug 11 is somewhat bigger than the width of the shank 13b of the clamping jaws 13 in order to make it possible to displace them out through the slots 20.
  • the stems 13a of the clamping jaws 13 have on their side that is directed from the intermediate portion 14a of the draw bar 14 grooves 21 that have an extension transverse to the longitudinal direction of the stems 13a.
  • two grooves 21 are arranged on each stem 13a.
  • a resilient O-ring 22 is received in associated grooves 21 of the stems 13a. This means that in the disclosed embodiment each O-ring 22 passes through three grooves 21.
  • the O-rings 22 are given such a diameter that they are only slightly pre-stressed in the position of the clamping jaws 13 according to Fig 1.
  • the draw bar 14 has a head 24 at its end that is directed from the plug 11.
  • a tool head 26 is drawn with dotted lines.
  • This tool head supports in the disclosed embodiment a cutting insert 27.
  • other types of tool heads e.g. a milling cutter, can be used.
  • the tool head 26 has an axially extending through hole 28 that has a diameter that corresponds to the diameter of the plug 11, i.e. the hole 28 has a so-called slide fit relative to the plug 11.
  • said hole 28 has a portion 29 with a greater diameter than the rest of the hole 28.
  • a step 30 is provided, said step having an extension in radial direction relative to the centre axis of the hole 28, said axis coincides with the centre axis 15 of the plug 11 and the draw bar 14.
  • the draw bar 14 is displaced in direction towards the space 17. This displacement is realized by means of the eccentric mechanism 18.
  • the force that presses the shanks 13b against the step 30 is contolled by means of the eccentric mechanism 18 and can of course be varied according to requirements.
  • the stems 13a and the shanks 13b of the clamping jaws 13 has a shape that tapers towards their joining point.
  • the tapering shape means that the radially outmost portion of the shanks 13b will contact the step 30 when the clamping jaws are displaced axially. This is favourable as a bigger distance in radial direction between the clamping jaws gives a more steady anchoring of the tool head 26. Also it is avoided that the wall of the hole 28 is damaged.
  • the tool head 26 must not be provided with a through hole 28 but it is also possible to have a recess provided with a step.
  • tool head is to be given a general interpretation and thus also incorporate milling heads, turning tools etc..
